108 Chinese grassroots women in race for Nobel A total of 108 Chinese women have been listed nominees by the "1,000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize 2005" campaign.
The campaign, supported by the Swiss Peace Foundation, vowed to select 1,000 grassroots women for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize to tell their stories and highlight their innovative and enduring efforts in achieving a more holistic sense of "peace," according to the campaign’s regional coordinator, Hong Kong-based Lingnan University. Among the 108 Chinese women nominated, 81 are from the mainland, 18 from Taiwan and nine from Hong Kong. Prof. Gao, a noted doctor, has dedicated herself to HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. "I don't care whether I finally get the prize. I just want more people to be involved in the anti-AIDS campaign," Gao said. In order to comply with the nomination rules of the Nobel Prize Committee, the campaign will finally draw out three women to represent the 1,000 women. The selected ones will be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2005. The Nobel Prize can be awarded simultaneously to three individuals at the
most, or to an organization. If the three women win, they will receive the prize
in the name of all the 1,000.
